No fewer than 1,000 members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kano State have defected to the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP.
The defection took place in Tofa and Ghari LGAs of the state as the defectors aligned themselves with the Kwankwasiyya Movement led by Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
The new NNPP members were welcomed by the state party chairman, Dr. Hashimu Suleiman Dungurawa, during a ceremony held at both locations.
The event was marked by the flag-off of NNPP’s chairmanship campaign ahead of the upcoming local government elections.
Present at the event were the NNPP candidates for the elections, Yakubu Ibrahim Adis of Tofa and Hashimu Mai Sabulu of Ghari.
Both candidates voiced confidence in NNPP’s growing strength in the region, especially with the influx of new members.
